Korean Conflict

JOHN FEFFER
Co-director of Foreign Policy In Focus, Feffer is author of The Future of U.S.-Korean Relations.
He said today: "Applying sanctions against North Korea and conducting
military exercises near its border have not led to a change in North
Korean behavior or progress toward denuclearizing the Korean peninsula.
Instead, North Korea has unveiled its uranium enrichment facility and
artillery fire has broken out near the disputed maritime boundary
between north and south. As the two Koreas step up their conflict, it is
vital for the United States to work with its allies as well as China
and Russia to restart negotiations in northeast Asia."

with alternative media outlets and grassroots activists.

With the toxic Bibi circus in town - cue talk of "tentacles of terror" - find hope in the extraordinary Combatants For Peace, a joint effort by weary Israeli and Palestinian veterans of violence who've laid down their guns to fight for peace. Led by a former IDF soldier and Fatah militant who both lost daughters to the conflict's "unrightable wrongs," they insist on the need to "hear what is painful" and talk to your 'enemies': "Partners for peace always exist. You only have to look for them."
